Dino Birthday Card


I made this card for my nephew, Jordan. He turned 5 on August 1. He loves dinosaurs...not the cartoon kind...the meat eaters! So, I cut this card from the Dinosaur Tracks cartridge. The idea started from the handbook. There is a card in the very front of the book...I just changed a few things. I inked everything with brown ink, cuttlebugged the dino with the mesh texture folder (I cut it as a layer in Design Studio), then clear embossed it so it is shiny. I also cuttlebugged the letters with the distressed stripes folder. This card is really big....8 1/2" x 6". I already had an envie and I made the card to fit inside of it.


On the inside I cut the raptor using the fossil feature....and stamped Happy Birthday to you. I inked and doodled around the edge!
